| Only matter of time before this thread happened. rasenshiruken973 said: I've noticed if you have a shounen anime in your favorites apparently your opinion will be invalid (sorry!) lol. Haikyuu! is a shounen anime. But you probably mean battle anime. |
 |
| I agree with you to a extent, baby steps to me is very underrated and shouldnt be turned down just because of the name or that most people think its just a romance tennis anime. Haikyuu! is pretty good as well i enjoy it and it puts a smile on my face, Haikyuu a soild 8/10 from me/ baby steps soild 7 in my opinion |
| Be It 10 or 1000 Men, The End Result Will Be The Same.. |
| Because Haikyuu! is fujobait. Fujobait anime (especially sports) are always rated high |

| Lol the same pressed person in the Baby Steps forum putting down Haikyuu to raise Baby Steps up. Comparing the two even, when they have absolutely nothing in common. Sigh.. The score has gotten so high these days no wonder people stay mad, but I don't understand why. Why make a thread such as this when majority of the people that come to this forum (in Haikyu) actually like this anime. Also how does having shounen in your favorites invalidate your opinion? Please, many people like shounen for different reasons regardless of the action. Haikyuu has a great story, interesting characters, humor, great animation, flawless OSTs, and just everything is done right. Production IG adapted it correctly and these are the results. So GET OVER IT! I'm so tired of the baby step fans whining about the score. I thought scores didn't even matter to you guys that much? Long story short Haikyuu deserves it's score. It appeals to many people because of the story and the characterization. It's not all about the flashy plays or the intense matches. Please get over yourself and do something productive with your time. bigivelfhq said: rasenshiruken973 said: I can't believe how high the rating has gone.

Comparing the two even, when they have absolutely nothing in common. They are both shounen sports anime, that aired at the same season. How can you miss the obvious reason of the comparison... |
|
| Lol what is it with people putting down one thing in order to praise the other? You should be careful what you say next time because this time you just contradicted yourself, and only got called out for being a hypocrite. (: Haha. And if you want Baby Steps to be popular, why not promote it? I don't know, make an advertisement, make a video or something. Entice people to watch it instead of giving it a publicity of a "whiney Baby Steps fan promotes another sport anime that you should really watch". |

Psyche_Izaya said: Because Haikyuu! is fujobait. Fujobait anime (especially sports) are always rated high I'm a fujoshi yaoi fan but I never thought about shipping all the characters together lol. I specifically watched Haikyuu because I was on a volleyball team in middle school and its also my favorite sport. I'm probably not the only one who likes volleyball or is a sports fanatic. Anyway, I thought a good number of the audience is watching it for the sport? |
 |
| I personally don't really like volleyball at all, it sometimes quite boring, and I prefer football and Tennis over it. I gave this anime a 9/10 because of the characters, the atmosphere and the comedy, and it manages to make the matches intense and engaging. |

tsudecimo said: They are both shounen sports anime, that aired at the same season. How can you miss the obvious reason of the comparison... Yea but that's all. They are not even the same sport. I find it more plausible to compare PoT with BS. I didn't miss it, it's just not that significant of a reason to compare them to me. |

Seriously though PoT has a completely different focus and mood than Baby Steps does. |
 |
| Why does people in this forum cares so much about MAL ranking? As if it was important at all. |
Cupquake said: PoT is pretty bullshit Seriously though PoT has a completely different focus and mood than Baby Steps does. This is true. The mood and focus is completely different. I was comparing them more along the lines of them being within the same sport. But with that said, the same thing could be said about Haikyu. The focus there is absolutely different from BS. So I don't see why they compare the two. Airing at the same time just isn't enough justification for me. That's like me comparing Scandal with Grey's Anatomy because they air right after one another..... |

| Before anything else, I'll just state clearly that I have no interest whatsoever in discussing how over-rated HQ! actually is or try to debate its quality in this kind of thread, I just have something related to this type of issue to state. I think that whenever any anime a person dislikes or feels indifferent towards enters the top 100, that person will see it as over-rated. That's perfectly normal, opinions will naturally vary within a certain degree. The thing that separates the polite community members from the entitled rage-seeking self-centered community members is the creation of sh*tstorm-bait threads such as these that serve no purpose other than to show a few people's limited perspectives and lack of acceptance and respect. On a personal note, I do find it sincerely ironic that you have No Game No Life in your favorites. I find it ironic not because I find it over-rated myself (which I do, but that's perfectly unimportant) but because NGNL is the anime that has been the biggest target of this kind of thing since SAO. You would think that seeing one of your favorites being constantly and heavily flamed and targeted with dozens of worthless threads like this you would be a bit more respectful and aware of differing opinions but I guess not. I do give you props though. With your truly unfortunate statement about moe and shounen anime on one's favorites - which again is ironic in and of itself as others have pointed out - you got me to reply for the first time to this kind of a thread. |

I gave it a 9 for the same reasons as well. |
 |
| Nope, not at all. |
| Some people just can't stand sports animes and don't end up enjoying it. Sports animes focus on several themes such as character development, comedy, comradery or even romance but people prefer a few themes over another. It's all about preferences. |

| A bit, I'll give it a 8/10. |
| I'm learning English so maybe I make mistakes :) |
| Not sure how haikyuu is fujoshi anime. |

He definitely mad breh. I'll be watching Baby Steps as well. Afaik, there haven't been m(any) volleyball animu, the art looks good from the poster, the first episode really grabbed my attention in a good way. And this show has done nothing but deliver. Why are you hating it? I like Mondaiji better than NGNL , but i still gave NGNL a positive review b/c its a good anime. |

| What would you guys say if I put Hajime no Ippo next to Haikyuu? I don't mean to compare them, but I'd like to know if the two have anything similar in particular. Hajime no Ippo actually changed my opinion on boxing and made me pick up the sport itself.. not to say that I want to pick up volleyball, I just want to know if it delivers intensity the same way. |

| Forgot to say. I don't think Haikyuu is bad. I gave it a (slightly generous) 8/10. But it just baffles me that Baby Steps has nowhere near the same score, yet it excels in areas Haikyuu does not. Such as realistic character development and pacing. In my opinion, of course. Anyway it's been fun guys. I laughed so much reading all the responses. Many apologies if I have offended anyone, or appeared disrespectful of other's opinions. I do not deny Haikyuu has its merits, and deserves the score it has. But only if Baby Steps was rated at least 8.40 |
rasenshiruken973 said: Such as realistic character development and pacing. In my opinion, of course. What is there to complain about the pacing? Literally what was wrong with it? You state it was an issue. Was it too fast, too slow for your liking. The pacing seemed fine to me objectively, it flowed pretty nicely. I don't think there is a pacing issue. Baby Steps skipped months and the pacing of the anime was quite quick, a year flew by within 25 episodes. I'm not complaining though. That's how the anime is. I don't understand why ppl take pacing into consideration at all. Why not let the story be told, how it's told. Also onto the realistic characters. Haikyu had some realistic characters as well. What wasn't realistic about it? The flashy plays? There are plenty of sports with flashy plays every now and then. If you are going to state your opinion back it up. |

rasenshiruken973 said: realistic character development and pacing. In my opinion, of course. What do you mean by "realistic character development"? I hope you're not talking about the abilities of the players, because Ei-chan has super vision, super fast writing, super memorization. And by saying that Baby Steps has a better pacing, I hope you're not forgetting all the skipped basic training and tournaments of Ei-chan by the 8 episode where it jump one entire year. |

| Haikyuu is pretty good. As I've only seen 9 episodes of it I can't give it a fair review, but I can say that I wasn't as eager to watch Haikyuu than I was to watch Baby Steps. I wanted to watch Baby Steps every week. It could be because I am watching too many sports anime at the moment, who knows why. |
Psyche_Izaya said: the word fujoshi makes me cringe, fujoshi shows make me cringe.. yet I'm a haikyuu fanboy.Because Haikyuu! is fujobait. Fujobait anime (especially sports) are always rated high there's something wrong with your logic. actually dont even know how you can consider haikyuu fujoshi-bait..? derp |
 |
| Everything that's highly rated is overrated to you hypocritical people. What isn't overrated to all of you? FMA, steins;gate, code geass, gurren lagann. Every single top anime has a post about being "overrated". Dont watch it then. |
mayukachan said: SolviteSekai said: Not sure how haikyuu is fujoshi anime. People assume every anime with a male-centric cast is fujoshi bait. *rolls eyes* ^I agree~ Just to be clear Haikyuu! is not a fujoshi-anime, besides, any fujoshi can make a ship out of any other anime if they want to, so I feel that it's kinda unfair(?) to say that this anime is highly rated because it's fujobait(I'm one but I ship none in this anime). In the first place, I don't think majority of Haikyuu! fans are fujoshis. If you want an example of an anime that is a total fujobait look for the swimming anime... haha! -------->> BACK to the real topic rasenshiruken973 said: I can't believe how high the rating has gone. What makes this sooooooo much better than for example Baby Steps then? Apart from the animation. When I read this I'm like "Oh no you didn't..." XD First of all, Haikyuu! deserves it's high score all the way(at least in it's respective genre). I have not seen Baby Steps so I cannot say if Haikyuu! is better but if you put down or question this anime's quality for another, much more, make your thread smack right in it's page, you're just really asking for a scolding(from it's fans) or just kinda disrespecting those who gave the anime a high score for it's value(in MY opinion alright?). There's a lot to be considered if you ask why Haikyuu! is overrated though(IF it is overrated, idk), such as exposure, it's promotions,the opportunity, and such. Even the seiyuus add an impact to an anime's popularity... Anyway, as you said, you probably shouldn't make threads like this when you're in a bad mood(specially) or at least not in Haikyuu's page, since you're dissatisfied w Baby Steps rate you might as well keep it there. ^^ |

| Thread cleaned. Removed baiting/spam. |
| I'm watching both Haikyuu and Baby Steps and they're both good, but Haikyuu is way better. For me, Baby Steps is a 7/10 and Haikyuu is a 9/10. Baby Steps can get a bit tedious to watch and feel like a chore, but Haikyuu has me excited with each and every episode. |
| I like Baby Steps more and i don't think that Haikyuu is overrated. Just be realistic. Haikyuu is more popular and produced by Production IG, has great animation, great OST, has varied cast of characters, starts bombastic and finishes with high tension, which means there was no decrease in quality. Baby steps is great but its produced by the hated Pierrot and it is more old school type where the protagonist develops slowly and has some traits that few people like. |

| I ddin't watch Baby Steps but I enjoy Haikyuu as much as Kuroko no Basket. |
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion. http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30 It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist. |

 |
| Nope and I hope its score increases even further. |
| One word: Fangirls ;) Just kidding, but I think the Anime simply embodies everything that I like about the sports genre, although the bromance can be a bit overwhelming at times. Comparing it to Baby Steps, I thought it was miles ahead of Baby Steps... just to me, of course. |

ninjastarforcex said: The last two episodes pushed it over an 8 (to bad we can't give something like and 8.2 or 8.5...lol). Still a lot of anime ahead of us for this series. Hope they can keep it up, if more are made.its just good. it deserve minimum 8. (worse series have been given second and third seasons...go figure) |

| Haikyuu! overrated? No: 95.51% REKT! |
| It's a good anime but nothing special imo. There are some overdramatic moments, like when Asahi returned to the team. Besides that, it's pretty enjoyable, 7-8/10 for me. |
